just got a visit from two jw's and i mentioned the literature stands they have now.. i mentioned i walk past their stand they set up in my town every thursday on my way to work.

last week the stand was smaller and i asked why was it smaller.

no answer..... i then said you guys usually go door to door dont you?

Interesting. This indicates that the door to door work is no longer effective and that witnesses are losing heart because when you think about it, the stands are more for the witnesses to reaffirm their separateness from the world rather than actively preaching/presenting the "good news".

The witnesses still feel they are dong something as service but don't have to actually engage.

Funny it used to be called the warning work. I'm glad they don't apply this method of warning in the Fire Dept!

The Great Wall of Banknotes - Another 'rich' village in China

by fulltimestudent in

11 years ago

villagers in china have built a wall of banknotes worth 13 million yuan ($2.1m: 1.3m) after a massive payout in annual bonuses from their rural co-operative.. .

the annual bonus was paid out to 340 households (families) that are members of the village co-operative in jianshe village, in liangshan yi autonomous prefecture, in south western sichuan province.. the co-operative makes its money out of pig farms, cherry orchards, and its investment in four small scale hydropower plants in sichuan, according to a village official, named zhu.. the co-operative is likely to have been among those rural areas that were forced into co-operatives back in mao zedong's time.

i do not know whether a large payout is customary, or the result of increasing emphasis (by the national government) on rural prosperity.

Seven Headed Wild Beast officially no longer represents UN?

according to a new "bible questions answered": " the wild beast with seven heads introduced at revelation 13:1 represents the worldwide political system.".

i know that they have quietly been backing away from the un identification for awhile.

is this feature on jw.org a new official teaching, or just a spin for the sake of the public?.

If anyone has had anything to do with the United Nations they will know there is nothing to fear. The UN is just about bloody useless unless you desire a talkfest and you love meetings.
